Chapter 2173 Forcing Him Into Renewing the Contract

Gary hurriedly withdrew his gaze and turned to talk to Lucy.

Meanwhile, Cindy continued to observe the two, and just as she sensed that Lucy was about to look at her, she speedily withdrew her gaze and returned to her unfinished sketch.

She didn't know if the two ultimately looked in her direction; what she did know was that the two were no longer there when she was nearly done with her sketch a while later.
